With New England up 38-13, I think we can start talking about the Ravens heading to Foxboro.

I encourage Gronk to take the game off to heal

He is..he needs surgery.

@ProFootballTalk: Per source, Rob Gronkowski is done for the rest of the postseason. Re-injured forearm and needs another surger


Chandler Jones hurt his ankle today as well.

@ESPN_Colin: Patriots are a machine right now. Baltimore hope you enjoyed the cigars last night. You will be getting smoked in a week.

Many a person said the same thing about the Denver game.

Ayanbadejo going off on twitter, calling New England's offense "gimmicky."

We need our guys to shut up and let ESPN make the stupid statements.

I hope Brady suffers a terrible fuzzy-handcuff related accident with Gisele this week.

Marino is right. Ravens defense has been on the field for 174 plays the last 2 weeks.

Need to be able to control the clock against NE and keep the defense as rested as possible.

Keep doubting this team everyone in the national media. Please, please, please.

I'm far ore concerned about this game. Manning loves to throw picks at critical times in playoff games, Brady does not. We will need alot of pressure on him.

I'll say this from a personal perspective but I also think it's true of this Ravens team. I have no fear of going into Foxboro and playing that Pats team and I don't think the Ravens players do either. I think they matchup well with the Pats and I believe they feel they matchup well with the Pats. I think so many teams go into NE and are afraid of the Brady and Pats aura. The Ravens have done it so many times, have played them tight so many times and have won in there that they just aren't afraid. I really believe there is little to no homefield advantage in this game.

You must of forgot the game we played there in '09. Heck, you must have forgot last year as well. Go back and watch those games or even look at the box scores and tell me Brady doesn't throw critical picks in playoff games.

Since Brady has 3 rings and Manning 1, and my comparison was between them, I think it's a fair statement.

New England is a 9.5 point favorite by the way..

You guys must be loving that Gronk is out.

Not really, would rather beat them with all of their parts. Obviously helps, but he didn't do any damage against the Ravens earlier in the year.

Well if healthy, I wouldn't have counted on that happening again.

That might be true, but you can't be scared to play against players. I always think it is more fun to play against the best (and possibly lose) vs. beating teams not at their best.

NE has played a lot of recent games without him though, so should not impact them too much.

Sure...without Webb, our best CB, it's nice to have one less weapon to deal with.

I wasn't saying you should be scared of him, just that this helps the Ravens odds of winning.
